Cats and Kale

· Cats care
veterinarian Bend, OR

Did you know that giving your cat some types of fruits and veggies can help add to an overall healthy and balanced diet plan for your cat? You should always talk to your vet first to find out which foods should be avoided and which foods can be given to your cat. Ask your vet about portion sizes as well. One of the veggies that cats can eat is kale, which is a leafy green vegetable that is often associated with cabbage. Kale, however, comes in long stems and not a head. Kale is beneficial for cats because it contains fiber, calcium, potassium and vitamin K. A common way to feed it is to mix it with a raw meat diet and serve a total of two tablespoons of veggies per pound of meat. Make sure you clear this with your cat’s veterinarian Bend, OR ahead of time.
